seekers were tuned away from the
box ohic" disappointed.
After Honest Tom" had been put
through a series Of interesting and
amusing, manousres, the first vicious
horse successfully handled was a rum

D3. &. 4. Walters, If Brooklyn, was

submitted to be driven together amid

The Austrian Government continues
it's asinamenis with almost reckless
haste. II is concentrating lis cavalry
in GaNeia, a fA province nearly as
large as Scotland, IN which the hinge
masses Of Russian h"rSem"n could
eperate with %effrcl, and it has inform

Count KaInoky, that although it.

The Delegation, therefore, though
sensitive about the difficult financial
position of Hungary, votedG5,O 600, 600
of extra money for the army without
debate. The Prince Of Montenegro,
who has no financial resources, has
mobilised and armed $4,000 men,
and is paIpably waiting for some
signal to aci, either in Maced mia, or
on behalf of the enemies of King
Milano in Seryia. That signal will,
it is believed, be given by disturban-
ees ip Bulgaria; and the facts indl-
cate that orders to give ii have
already been secretly issued.
Let US suppose for u moment that
the Caar has decided that he must,
in his own interest and that of his
nation, restore his a~scendcncy in the
Balkans by force. and consider what
course he would be likely to adopt.
Clearly, he would mass troops III

sions of Bulgaria ; and would "ccu"'u-
late an army on the GalIcian frontier

interfered. Those are the precise
preuarations which he is believed to
have made, and which the Governor
General of Odessa, in the Order We
quoted last week, obviously regarded
as preludes to immediate war. He
has not been censnred for that Order,
nor have tho reckless agents of
Russia in Western Europe ventured
90 offer the slightest explanation OF

Russian Government, which, like
every Government, prefers to tell its
subjects that when it declares war
1t cannot help itself, if it were sum
moned by the Bulgarians, or if dIsor'
der in Bulgaria called for forcible
repression. Well, the effort to pro-
duce that situation is being mad.
Il is not needfuI either to affirm or
denv the endless stories of Russian
"intrieue," some of which We may in
fairness admit would not, if the
intriguers were EngIishmen, and the
object the revindicntion of British

 The Republican members of the Court of Common Council will meet in caucus to morrow evening to discuss matters con- corning the organization of the councilmen and the candidates they will favor for the various boards The two important mat ters they will consider are candidates for president and clerk of the Board of Coun- cilmen. It is said that the nomination will be rendered Councilman Davis, but that probably John Blair will be the successful man if he wants the place. The Republi- cans will also gobble up the clerkship, but will probably divide with the Democrats in the vacancies in the fire and police boards, as these boards are usually non-partisan Thomas R. Martin and John Early retire from the Police Board and Connolly and Vail from the Fire Board. Alderman Hellman and Councilman Goodwin retire from the Board of Road and Sewer Commissioners MT Hellman retires from the Aldermanic Chamber, and it is not probable that Councilman Goodwin will be induced to serve another term, as he has given his time to the work at great personal incon- venience. A place on the Fire Board of late has come to be undesirable even to a man who is interested in such matters and desires to serve the city. The present Po- lice Board are at loggerheads and reor- ganization of that board is probable

A DAKOTA BLIZZARD.

The First Bold Blast of Blowing Cold
 The weather clerk fulfilled his word and sent the promised blizzard. It began to get in it's work early last night, immediate ly following the clearing away of the rain storm, and when the clock in St Johns steeple was striking off the quarters and small hours of the night, to the disgust of the benzine loaded night-owl, was putting in good lcks for 8 rouser to-day. When day dawned it was here in earnest, sweeping every nook and corner, rattliDg windows, throwing open doors and sending cold blasts of winter into every household, much to the discom- fort of the peaceful and ordinayily un- complaining tenants. Surprise was de- picted on the face of the hurrying pedes- trian as he looked at MT Dikeman's ther- mometer and found the mercury only at 16 degrees. He did not grow warm over the revelation, but buttoned his coat closer about him and wondered at the little pro- lection his clothing afforded against the wind. It was a regular Dakota breeze and woolens offered it no resistance To the ordinary man it was blowing in every di- rection and he was always going to the windward, but to the weather man it was in the west. It did not diminish in force as the day advanced and colder weather is promised for tomorrow. The ice men smile at the prospects, the small boy is be- yond restraint in his ecstacy, the livery men are thoughtful, clothing men and fur dealers bow pleasantly, but the poor-they are to be pitied. Those who preach char ity can practice it now

THE OLD AND THE NEW,
Who Will Hold the Reins of the City Gov
 ernment in 1888.

There will be in the Court of Common Council, which holds it's first meeting next Monday evening, four new aldermen and ten new councilmen. Alderman Cowell retlres after four years service, during 8 portion of which time he has been 8 valu- able memher of the law committee. Judge Cowell has been the facetious member of the board, though by no means wanting in common sense and practical ideas. AL ways outspoken he won the admiration and esteem of his associates, invariably brim full of fun, even when suffering bodily af fiction. He will be succeeded by D. F. Webster, who is one of Waterbury's bright est young lawyers, and who will prob ably be appointed by the Mayor to suc- ceed Judge Cowell on the Law Commit tee. Alderman s. B. Terry is succeeded by Frank J. Rametti. In MT Terry's re- tirement the board loses level headed, bright member, and a younger man, we'll posted in city matters and with progres
 sive ideas succeeds him. Alderman He'll mans round figure and jolly countenance will not be seen in the board the coming year. L. I. Munson, his successor, is well versed in city matters and has served on the Board of Sever Commissioners. He will probably do much to fill the void caused by Alderman Cowells retirement, as he enjoys joke and can crack one as often as his learned legal friend. Alder
 man Keenan, retires after several years of active service. He was chairman of the Committee on Lamps and Gas, in which capacity he proved valuable and indefa- tigable worker. It is doubtful if there is a more energetic member of the board. He is succeeded by Timothy O'Rourke, who has been a member of the Board of Councilmen and who will look we'll after the interests of the Fourth ward
 In the Board of Councilmen there will be ten new members, John Blair and Edward Williams succeeding themselves, and Lorenzo R. King, George Barnes and Lewis I. Cook, succeeding Burton Bry an, Ira J. Strong and P. F. McMahon. No face of this retiring group from the first ward will be missed as much as Coun- cilman McMahon. From the Second ward Thomas R. Martin, Albert Noether; Len thel s. Davis, Charles H. Goodwin will continue in the board, Frederick E. Cross succeeding D. F. Webster, who goes to the upper board. Samuel W. Chapman, Otto

Arrangements Making to Banquet Grand
 Army Chiefs of the State.
 Waterbury will maintain her good repu- tation for hospitality when the state en- campment of the Grand Army meets in this city in February. Already active pre- parations are making for the reception of the veterans, and last evening at a meeting of committee, of Grand Army men and citizens committees were appointed to carry the programme into effect Upon the proposition of Capt l..

John Staplins, fisherman, while wait ing for friend near Atwood's silk mill, New London, last night, was approached by four men, one of whom in passing threw something which struck Staplins in the face. He suffered much pain and made all possible haste getting up town. He was attended by Dr Nelson, who found his lip confused, one side of his moustache burned and several burns elsewhere about his face. It was at first thought that wit riol had been thrown, but after careful ex- animation the doctor concluded that it must have been some description of tor pedo,
